<p>I'm having a dejavu over the rebase vs merge conversation. I think we already had it. Do you know where the defaults for each repo are set?</p>

<p>and in a repo where I do have admin access, I don't see a way to set the default policy</p>

<p>AFAIK it just remembers what you did last time? but that'd mean you switched it to rebase at some point, and then it stuck there</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116009">@nikomatsakis</span> might be able to look into that, it should be somewhere in the settings page of the repo</p>

<p>So I don't think one can set defaults, but one can limit the options to only one.</p>

<p>yeah. sometimes the other options might still be useful though... I just think they should only be used with a good reason.</p>
